Riff: Big Sean – “Guap”

They like “Boy, won’t you get your rest on?”/Bitch, ’cause I’m up for every hour I was slept on

We didn’t need another rap single about money, but at least “Guap” is one of the better ones. The boring beat and cliché intro may turn you off, but Big Sean has “paid his dues” and a lot of his “guap” is going to his family. Sean lives where the nauseating “swerve” exists beside unique punchlines.
